About the Book:
For Izzy Graves, cleaning up blood splatters is just another satisfying Tuesday.
But when her serial killer father leaves her a collection of human bones—and a doomsday cult comes knocking—Izzy's life gets a whole lot messier.
Armed with her pet rat, a resting death face, and a squad of social rejects, Izzy must stop the resurrection of an ancient serpent god... or die trying.
A darkly funny, gore-splattered romp for fans of Dexter and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
About Morgan Mourne
Morgan Mourne writes darkly humorous horror, fantasy, and sci-fi thrillers because therapy is expensive and writing keeps him marginally sane.
He grew up on the novels of Stephen King, Christopher Moore, and the wonderfully chaotic worlds of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey—and somewhere along the way, decided he could probably make things even weirder.
When he’s not writing, Morgan can be found playing RPGs badly, spoiling his dogs, watching baseball, or catching a comedy horror flick with his wife.
The Bone Collector’s Daughter is his first novel he’s actually letting people read. Please be gentle.

Morgan Mourne's next darkly hilarious thriller is on the way and the hair is big, the synths are bigger, and something very hungry is waiting in the dark…
Neon signs.
Saxophones.
Monsters in the moonlight.
In 1985 Los Angeles, a down-and-out PI investigating a missing person case discovers a terrifying truth: the city's criminal underground is harvesting werewolf blood—and his dangerous attraction to his client might transform him into the very monsters he's hunting.
Hard-boiled PI Vince Lockwood is barely scraping by in the neon-lit shadows of 1985 Los Angeles when the alluring Alena DeLuca walks into his office. She's the wife of a mid-level gangster, and she needs his help finding a missing person. What starts as a standard missing-person case soon drags Vince into a brutal world he never imagined—where creatures stalk the city after dark, and crime lords deal in black-market werewolf blood. Each clue pulls him further from reality and deeper into danger. And as his fixation on Alena intensifies, so does the risk of losing himself. With the full moon approaching and predators circling, Vince must fight to hold onto what's left of his humanity—before the city drowns in blood and he disappears into the shadows for good.
